description ► AlN thin films by reactive magnetron sputtering. ► Effects of geometry on SAW resonators. ► Effects of post-annealing on AlN film quality. ► Effects of post-annealing on SAW properties. This paper describes experimental relationship between surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties of two-port SAW resonators based on polycrystalline aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films grown on Si substrates by using a pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering system and their geometry's parameters. Moreover, the influence of post-deposition heat treatment on SAW properties of AlN thin films was investigated at different annealing temperature (600 °C and 900 °C). The measurement results show the number of the inter-digital transducers (IDT) finger pairs ( N), the number of reflectors grating pairs ( R) and the IDT center-to-center distance ( L) related to insertion loss of SAW resonators. The best result of insertion loss was 15.6 dB for SAW resonators with R = 160 pair, N = 5 pair and L = 750 μm. At the same geometry parameters, the SAW velocity and insertion loss were improved slightly after annealing at 600 °C and were worse for the films annealed at 900 °C by changes in the surface morphology and stress on the film.
